The Bidens' unforgivable hypocrisy

Joe Biden usually seems like a man with good intentions and a good heart, this is really disappointing.

Hunter needs to be a father to the girl.
Joe needs to be a grandfather

 

"Joe Biden usually seems like a man with good intentions and a good heart, this is really disappointing."

LOLOLOL!!

 

Just FYI ... don't be surprised if one particular "less than objective" mod will characterize this as a "crap thread" and close it. It's verboten to say what you said about "grandaddy" Joe.

 

Can’t read behind a pay wall, but the part in bold is despicable.

 

Likely a tough situation. Joe Biden is stuck between his son’s choices and associated genetic lineage.

@Trickster — would you acknowledge a grandchild at the peril of a relationship with your daughter-in-law? It’s doesn’t feel black and white. Public figures maybe need to be more like the Queen and hold everyone accountable to a standardized decorum.

 

“Disgusting” is far too strong a word for something that probably isn’t all that uncommon. I just don’t think it’s normal for grandparents to do an end run around their own kids if the “in law” is estranged from their biological children. That being said, to publicly not “count” them is a bit weird for a man in his position, it’s bad PR. But I’d suspect even that isn’t too far off when it’s the product of an affair or one night stand type of relationship. Grandparents are naturally going to look at that differently if there’s no relationship with the daughter in law.

I mean hell… in the old days Catholics had “homes” for single mothers… and the kids were so well taken care of they needed mass graves. THAT is disgusting. Sounds like Hunter is a pos and this woman had to fight for her proper due (as far as child support). But as far as being otherwise entitled? Nah.

 

The woman’s name has never been Biden. So I’m not sure what legitimate “use” they would have for it. Maybe there were some grifting concerns? A bit ironic considering Hunters business, but I’m guessing there was some activity they wanted to stop.

At the same time, this person could literally do a legal name change and I’m not sure Hunter or anyone else could have legal standing to stop it. It would just be a bit weird/awkward. Usually a divorced woman drops their exes last name. Ever heard of a non-married woman and her child taking on the name of the person they were never married to? I think not.

 

I took it to mean the child taking the Biden name, not the woman. I have heard of cases where the father is not married to the mother, and yet the child still takes the father’s name.

 

This observation is based on what exactly?

 

Normally when this happens it’s because the child wants to honor the father, or even grew up preferring to be recognized by their father’s name. Not when they never had a relationship with their father.

As I said though, if the kid as an adult wants to claim “I’m a Biden, y’all”, I doubt there’s anything anyone can do to prevent a legal name change. But for this single woman trying to pull that on her 4 year old seems… sad/scammy.

 

I could change my name to Murphree Clinton-Obama-Biden right now and there’s nothing they could do to stop me. I don’t get it.

 

I absolutely would acknowledge her. It’s abusive to her not to. That little girl is going to grow up knowing these two “men” disowned her. F**k whatever Hunter’s current wife thinks about it. When you marry someone who has a child already, especially one this young, you treat that child as your own. If Hunter’s wife has a problem with this concept, it simply confirms her level of bitch and nothing more. It’s a disgusting story.

 

That little girl will be in spotlight her whole
Life. The bastard child. Bidens (all of them) should have acknowledged and accepted her. Want to be inclusive.. start with your own bloodline.
And do not bark about family, inclusiveness, being a family man etc.... until you clean up your own house Joe.

I’ve said it before and I stand by it. All politicians ( ALMOST ALL) on a national level are scum. They are mired in the slime. It’s how they get to where they are.

 

How common or uncommon something is has nothing to do with whether it’s “disgusting” or not. The issue stems from Hunter being a deadbeat dad and that’s where our president should lead by example and kick his son’s ass. If I had a son who did this, it would be a very tense relationship between myself and the son. Joe seems to have taken the path of least resistance, which is obviously what Hunter has done for most of his life. Yes, it happens with lots of people. There are indeed lots of shitty people out there. That doesn’t make it any less disgusting.

 

Any decent person would acknowledge their grandchild and would want to be part of their life. If anyone had a problem with that, they would need to get over it. If they can’t, that’s their problem.

 

Not sure it’s that simple. What if the current wife does not like it and takes away your access to her child, also your grandchild? Lots of complexity and nuance.

 

I mean, I’ll give you this. But the last name is a non sequitur. A name is just a name. The girl is Hunter’s daughter. She could change her last name to “Trump” and she wouldn’t be any more or less Hunter Biden’s daughter.

But we know you know this and you’re just here to run interference.

 

Hunter is simply an embarrassment and only some of his behavior is excusable by virtue of his addiction. As a friend of mine said when Beau passed, “the wrong son died”, crass as it was.


And Joe has an opportunity here to lead by example and do the right thing where his soon is falling far short. His blood is in the 4 year old’s veins, and and not in his daughter in laws. Easy to paint the mom as money grubbing without knowing any facts, but maybe she just wants a better life for her daughter, and some help raising her kid.
